The government has finally unveiled its vision to accelerate Australia’s transition to electric vehicles.
The National Electric Vehicle Strategy released on Wednesday set Australia’s goals to increase the uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) to meet the country’s target of net-zero emissions by 2050.
Central to these plans is a pledge to introduce a fuel efficiency standard – but the government is yet to reveal what that standard will look like.
A draft of the policy, which will include details on the fuel efficiency standard, is expected by the end of the year following consultation with industry and community groups.
